Sometimes powers aren't as obvious on paper as perhaps they should be. Months of horrible nightmares, months of failing to understand why I dreamed of strangers and events I didn't quite understand. But then, over time, I started to see fragments of my dreams become reality. Most notably, the August Swear In -- I dreamed of fireworks erupting into people's screams. Had I realized that my dreams were foretelling of some future, perhaps I could have given warning. Perhaps, I could have helped to prevent that future from occurring or at least built up awareness so people could defend themselves.

But now, I realize my job is to illuminate. I have had dreams most recently, some alarming and some benign. I've seen you all at one point or another. In many ways, I know you more intimately than you know yourself because I have seen what is to come and in some cases, how you take on that challenge.

I've dreamed of a man who takes on the pain of others, offering sanctuary to those most in need. And in turn, he becomes part of a larger pack. The winter months may be a bit more crowded in their home, but with spring comes change. New places for the fosters to live and the long-awaited 'shedding' of a winter coat.

I've dreamed of a Doctor in a world unknown, and a harbinger carrying tragedy on its darkened wings. When birds don't take to the sky, something else must ascend to the heavens. And sharpening ones beak on a diamond mountain must take less time than the foretold one second of eternity to wear it down.

But perhaps most alarming, I've dreamed of fire in the city of Heropa -- the screams of civilians with buildings ablaze. But this fire burns more than buildings to ashes. It leads to chaos, confusion, and rebirth. Like a phoenix rising from the flame, so, too, will imPorts.

There have been more. Fragments. Pieces. Often stringing together over time to form a larger puzzle. And once they do come together, I will foretell them, as well. The beautiful thing about the future is though I might be able to see it, it can be changed.

And as for who I am, well, I would prefer to keep my identity to myself. But if you need a name attached to my words, you can refer to me as The Clairvoyant.

[ well HELLO this is interesting. ]

Was that a Doctor or the Doctor? It's important, you see, because I don't know if I need to buy birdseed or not.

permatext!

[flowerette]

Unfortunately, I don't think the birdseed would carry over with you. But it most definitely was you.

Seriously? Couldn't even think of a unique name?

[flowerette]

I toyed with the idea of being called the prophet or the oracle, but it didn't have the same ring to it. John Garrett was a fraud anyway. At least I can give the name some meaning.

fire in heropa? an old dream or something new?

text

[flowerette]

Something to come. And soon. I recall seeing Christmas decorations on display.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Should you have a theme song? Some sort of introductory music? I think so.

[Of course he knows his girlfriend is The Clairvoyant.

[flowerette]

I imagine I will have a choir to sing my praises soon enough.

A phoenix, you say? (That doesn't set well.) You should not belittle your talent. Divination is a fine art when done right.

[flowerette]

This is all so new to me. But I hope my gift will be useful to those in this world.

[ And by useful, she means give her more power and make people dependent on her. ]

What I've seen to come is something of a rebirth. The imPorts facing great devastation and coming out anew. They will emerge different, confusion and chaos will abound, but with change comes new possibilities.

Jfc people still buy into this kind of crap?

[flowerette]

[ Excuse you, Jeff. ]

It isn't 'crap.' What I'm speaking about will happen. You'll see. You're affected by one of those prophecies as well.

[akito]

Are you O.K.?
You have a friend to help you with the nightmares?

[ he knows how awful nightmares are just once in a moon, and can't imagine having so many so often - and knowing that they could happen... ]

Thank you for the fire warning Mr/Ms. Clairvoyant
I'll make sure to carry extra water with me.

[flowerette]

I'm fine now, thank you for asking. When the nightmares first began, I would go for days without sleeping. I went to a psychiatrist who prescribed a sedative, and that helped to ward away the dreams.

Of course, you can't stop the inevitable for long. And now that I know what they are, I embrace them and sleep just fine.

But I do hope you'll exercise caution should you find yourself amidst these fires. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of remaining calm in face of this danger.

[mousquetaire]

[ Well, this is no small amount of worrying. ]

You say you've dreamed of fire, in Heropa.

Do you know when? Did you recognise any faces in the flames? If people are in danger of death, we must try to prevent it as best we can.

text

[flowerette]

The only thing I can tell you with certainty is that it will be this month -- based on the decorations and displays in my vision. But how soon or far away is unknown.

[inmyothertights]

Did you dream of a bird flying into a pair of twins, too?

[helpline]

If it's my prophecy, why would twins be involved? I don't know any twins.

[ sorry Billy, have the Doctor just BARGE IN HERE like he has no tact. ]

What gives you the right to tell people what you think their future should be? People make their own future. It isn't pre-determined.

[Blah blah fire disaster that's not the most alarming implication of such a power in her opinion.]

text;

[flowerette]

This isn't what their future 'should' be. This is what it will be. What I see is what will happen unless action is taken to change it. You can house all the skepticism you want, but you will see the truth of my words soon enough.

[thegriffinofdeath]

So you're a soothsayer. Most people in your profession know better than to announce their visions to the world, you know.

text

[flowerette]

Clairvoyants, prophets, oracles, fortunetellers, soothsayers. They all go by many different names, and each have different methods of doing essentially the same thing.

I believe the imPorts had the right to this knowledge. What good would it have done to keep it to myself?

[aggressiveapathy]

what about for a taurus?

[flowerette]

I'm not that kind of fortuneteller.

[viced]

Know all of us that well? I mean, I... severely doubt it. That's a lot of people to know everything about everyone. [ He hopes not. ]

But, ah, more about this with Heropa? Anything you can add? Even little details? Have you talked to the police? Or the military?

permatext!

[flowerette]

Does such a thing frighten you, Mitchell Hundred? That someone possibly has access to the future roads you'll come across? Or is it that you're hiding things -- things you want no one to know?

To answer your question, though, in my vision, I've seen Christmas displays and decorations. I can tell you, it will happen within the month of December. It's a clear day and the areas are busy, full of people bustling to get their shopping done. For the amount of people there, it could be the weekend as I imagine that would draw the largest crowds. But again, I can't say definitively. As for the police or military, no. It is the imPorts who will respond, and the imPorts who are in the most danger if they respond.

[superposition]

Unless the fire's metaphorical as well, that's troubling to hear. Do you have any more specifics? Where in Heropa, and when? Any idea what causes it?

[He's taking the whole "prophecy" thing with a grain of salt, to be sure - but even if she's seeing only one possible outcome out of billions, it'd be irresponsible not to try and prevent it.]

text;

[flowerette]

Where the most bustle occurs. A cluster of shops. Areas with the most traffic. In my vision, I saw large crowds of natives fleeing from the chaos.

[du_vallon]

Just to put my mind to rest. All these visions and predictions of yours. Happen to have some kind of accuracy rate?

[He's losing all his doubts bit by bit in this place. It's definitely unnerving]

text;

[flowerette]

Every vision I've had has come true with 100% accuracy. As this is the first time I'm coming forward, I realize there may be a lot of skepticism. But I do hope enough people heed my warnings to take great caution when assisting with the fires.

[assays]

And we're supposed to take you at your word?

[flowerette]

Whether you choose to believe or disbelieve is your call. It won't change the fact that what I've seen will happen.

[melavasomniar]

No time frame for your visions? That might help with the whole flaming building, screaming citizens issue.

text

[flowerette]

Unfortunately, these dreams often don't come with a timestamp. Though it is possible that as I hone my ability, I will be able to give more detailed information.

[acclimatized]

Have you told the authorities about this? About Heropa.

[flowerette]

I have not. The imPorts are my priority as they are the ones in danger. Authorities will respond either way, but even if they have this knowledge, they will not be able to prevent it from happening.

TEXT.

[mantlepieces]

[ It's got to be fake. Mostly because it's too horrifying to be true -- the idea of the power, seeing the future like that, more than the specifics of what's being told just now. Not that, thinking about it for longer than a couple of seconds, it should be that surprising someone has a power like this (and there could still be more)... but.

Warily: ]

what kind of rebirth?

TEXT.

[flowerette]

Like a moth bursting from a cocoon, everything the imPorts know about themselves will change. You will still be you. But different.

[exsithstential]

Precognition? [Revan's tone is soft, thoughtful. But there's a trace of tightness to it.] A talent not to be taken lightly. How much do you know about these visions? How certain are they to come to pass?

permatext!

[flowerette]

How much I know about the visions depends on the vision. Sometimes I see things with great clarity. Other times, it's only traces of images and emotions surrounding it. But I can tell you since I've begun to understand my power, everything I've seen has come true with 100% accuracy.

[deadtective]

I think you need a different kind of doctor looking at your dreams, honestly.

[is someone kind of moving to protect her housemate, just in case? you bet she is.]

[flowerette]

I saw a psychiatrist during the initial phases. I believed I was crazy, that these were nightmares and nothing more. But that was only me being in denial of the truth. And your response is also rooted in denial. You will see soon enough.

Yes. I know it may be difficult to believe, but my words are true.
